DRAWER-PULL.

SPECIFICATION forming Vpart of Letters Patent No. 261,982, dated August I, 1882.

\ .replication atea rune 11. waz. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THEonoRn C. BARNARD, ot' Mei-iden, in the county ot' New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Drawer-Pulls; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, an d exact description ot' the invention, lwhich'will enable others skilled in the art Vto which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part ot' this speciication, and in which- Figure l is a longitudinal section of iny improved drawer-pull. Fig. 2 is a perspective view `of the hollow shell or thimble. Fig. 3 is a similar view of the `stem or pin which connects the thimble to the back-plate, and Fig. 4 isa perspective view ot' the complete device.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts in all the figures.

invention has relation to metallic draweripnlls; and it consists in the combination of the thimble or holder carrying the handle and the backplate,to which the same is attached, .15 Lhaving for its object to connect the handle and back-plate in a simple, inexpensive, and slibstantial manner, substantially as hereinafter more fully described and claimed. y

In .the accompanying drawings, the letter A 3o designates the ring or handle, the ends of which are inserted through apertures b b in thehollow shell or thimble B. t

C is the stem, which may be tubular orotherwise, and provided with an inside or outside screw-thread. This stem is made with ashoulder or offset, c', having a flange, c, and the reduced end of the stem terminates in a tenon, d, adapted to be inserted into a hote, a, in the outer end ot' the ihimble B. Y

D is the back-plate or face-plate, which may be of any desired ornamental shape or pattern, and the connection of the thimble, stem, and back-plate willv readily be understood by reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings. The stem C, having been inserted throughthe central ap erture, e, in the back-plate D,is pushed through thimble B, with its tenoned end d projecting through the aperture a, to which it is riveted. The shoulder or oi'set c of the stem C is in like manner riveted down upon the inner side ot the `face-plate around its aperture e, thus irmly uniting the thimble and face-plate and forming a step or stop for the ends of the handle-ring.

Having thus described myinvention,I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- In a drawer-pull, the combination of the ornamental face-plate D, having the aperture e,

and threaded stem C, having the anged shoulder c c, and tenon d. at its reduced outer end, with shell or thimble B, having the side apertures, b, and end aperture, a, and handle-ring A, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

THEODORE C. BARNARD. Witnesses:

JAMES C. BEACH, THOMAS F. BROWN.
